So I finally got around to finishing that website (Laziness + World of Warcraft does not equal reliability). So I get back in contact to say about uploading the site, manage to find out who the name is registered with (Nominet? Good grief) and who the hosting site is.

Except there's a problem.

Nobody knows what the username and password is.

Oh dear.

However, the best thing is it tells me that the username doesn't exist. So if I get it right, I'm halfway there! Hurray!

OPERATORS: == != === !== > >= < <=
A comparison operator compares two operands and returns a Boolean value (true or false) as to the validity of the comparison. Operands can be of numeric or string type.

== This is the equal operator and returns a boolean true if both the operands are equal. JavaScript will attempt to convert different data types to the same type in order to make the comparison. Assuming 'a' to be 2 and 'b' to be 4, the following examples will return a value of true:

a == 2
a == "2"
2 == '2'

!=

This is the not equal operator which returns a Boolean true if both the operands are not equal. Javascript attempts to convert different data types to the same type before making the comparison. The following examples return a Boolean true:

a != b
a != 4
a != "2"

=== This is the strict equal operator and only returns a Boolean true if both the operands are equal and of the same type. These next examples return true:

a === 2
b === 4

!==

This is the strict not equal operator and only returns a value of true if both the operands are not equal and/or not of the same type. The following examples return a Boolean true:

a !== b
a !== "2"
4 !== '4'

>

This is the greater than operator and returns a value of true if the left operand is greater than the right.:

a > 1
b > a

>= This is the greater than or equal operator, which returns true if the first operand is greater than or equal to the second. The following examples return true:

a >= 1
a >= 2
b >= a

<

This is the less than operator and returns true if the left operand is less than the right:

a < 3
a < b

<= This is the less than or equal operator and returns true if the first operand is less than or equal to the second. These next examples all return true:

a <= 2
a <= 3
a <= b

Get your client to email the host for the username and password. The account would have been registered with an email address which is the one they will use to send this information. Had this issue myself last week with NetNames.

As for the URL registration. All .co.uk domains whether registered with reg123, Digital-Crocus etc are all controlled by Nominet, they are the giverning body for UK domains, so all certificates and registration info is handled by them.

If they give you any grief, let me know and I'll go firebomb their offices which are just down the road from me!;)

In most cases the username tends to be the URL minus it's prefix (www) and suffix (.xx.xx). So for instance, www.blaggers.com = blaggers
